Tire Recommendations for FWD v70 15' rims

I think the #1 important thing is to upgrade the size. 205/60-15 is THE size to use, no doubt. If you want LONG wear and great in rain, look at Yokohama TRZ, wear is 700. We have them on our CRV. Yoko H4S is very nice handling, but poor in snow. Wear is good at 500. I have Kumho ASX on my Accord Coupe, usually pretty good all-around but I do have a shimmy on this pair. Other time I used them they were good, except wear. If you want a sporty tire, Bridgestone G-009 is good, a very safe high-quality bet. I would not fault the Dunlop SPA2, soft ride, but great in snow. A good rule is if you will be using the tires more than a year, buy better ones. I ususally burn up a set every year, so I try to save some money but I also just bought a set of Goodyear Eagle Response, Kevlar+Carbon Fibre....expensive.
Conti Extremes are pretty crazy good in snow, but don't come in this size. Let me know if I can help further. -Clark
